genteel accusative

Overcorrecting 'me' to 'I' in order to show that one is educated.
People say things like 'between you and I,' and 'they gave this to my friends and I,' and 'the association gave the award to him and I.' They think using the genteel accusative demonstates that they went to college, and it sets my teeth on edge.
